This choice: David makes a break for it! Leaving Tyler to his own devices, or forcing a chase • Go Back...Chapter #9David makes a break for it! Leaving Tyler to hi... by: Mat_Husky   David was frozen with fear, normally he wouldn't have any reason to be afraid of his brother but this insane growth spurt had seemingly sent Tyler drunk with power. He was unsure whether Tyler was simply teasing him or was serious about trying to get him back for all the years of making fun of his short height, but he didn't want to stick around and find out.
After a few more seconds of listening to Tyler's booming laughter David snapped to his senses and scrambled to his feet, instantly starting to run to the side of his giant brothers body, having to jump over every wrinkle in that huge shirt.
Tyler looked down and smirked, “That's right bug, start running. I'll even give you a head start.”
Those words only made David run faster, he would occasionally trip on the fabric beneath him in his haste to find some way out of this situation. Soon enough he reached the side of Tyler’s body and started sliding down the shirt, gripping on loosely to slow his descent until he had to resort to climbing down the steep edge before dropping a relatively safe distance to the ground.
Once he was back on the concrete he took one more look up at his giant brother and then continued his escape, running down the street and ducking into an alleyway between two buildings where he assumed Tyler wouldn't be able to see or reach him, giving him time to stop and catch his breath.
“Shit! What the hell is going on?! That can't be Tyler. It can't!” David forcefully mumbled aloud to himself, still struggling to accept that any of this was real.
“TIMES UP!” Tyler's voice boomed across the area moments before the ground started to shake violently as he shifted and began rising to his feet, every simple movement ended up crushing cars, trees, and severely damaging buildings.
Tyler looked around, taking in his new higher view of the city that lay around him, his head rising higher than most of the buildings.
With another deep laugh he took a step forward, causing deep cracks in the concrete, “FE-FI-FO-FUM!”
When the tremors had eased David took a look out of the alley and up into the sky, watching his brother move around like some sort of living mountain, he knew he wouldn't be safe here for much longer, even if Tyler didn't find him the devastation he was causing just by moving around could bring down the buildings around him, so he did the only thing he could, run.
David sped away as fast as his legs would carry him, even though he only had a short rest the adrenalin rush was enough to keep him going, he tried to keep out of sight as much as possible, keeping close to the edge of buildings, ducking into more alleys etc, his only thought was trying to get as far away from his brother, or even the city as possible.
Tyler on the other hand was taking his time, watching all the tiny people who had not yet evacuated the area try to flee, carefully scanning the crowd for any traces of David. He slowly walked around, each footfall thudded against the ground with the force of a small explosion, “Where are you David? I know you're here somewhere.”   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
